Given numbers are 3156,9731

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 3156,9731 is 116772.

Find LCM of 3156,9731 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

263 x 12 x 37 = 116772

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3156,9731 is 116772.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

3156 x 9731 = 30711036

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

3156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 263, 526, 789, 1052, 1578, 3156

9731 : 1, 37, 263, 9731

263 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3156,9731, is 263.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3156:2x 2x 3x 263

9731:37x 263

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

= 1

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 30711036/(263x1)

LCM = 30711036/263

LCM = 116772

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3156,9731 is 116772.
